HYPERCORE CAN BE APPLIED TO THE NEXT DEVICES

KEY FEATURES

Some important improvements over legacy PGP solutions:

KEYS ARE CREATED BY THE USER

Unlike old PGP solutions where admin creates your key, we allow users to generate their key on the device. This eliminates the ability of the company to read messages, or turn over unencrypted messages to an authority. We can’t disclose what we don’t have access to.

KEY REGENERATION

Old PGP solutions have one key for entirety of your subscription. This means if your key is ever compromised, all past and future messages will be revealed. The new solution allows you to regenerate your key as often as you like, protecting all subsequent messages with a new private key.

ANTI-FORENSICS

On of the biggest threats to old PBP solutions is forensic data extraction from the device. With old PGP solutions, all messages including deleted messages (since the last device wipe) can be recovered. The new solution holds your messaging data in a secure container (AES-256) that is constantly overwritten and scrubbed to protect against forensic recovery of deleted data from the flash memory. The Blackberry 10 platform also benefits from a stronger device security that stands up to forensic attacks.

ENCRYPTED SUBJECT LINE & CONTACT ATTACHMENTS

Old PGP solutions send the email subject unencrypted, and contact attachments are sent outside the message body also in encrypted form. We have addressed this huge security flaw, so the subject and attachments are protected by the same encryption as the message body.

FULL CONTROL OF MESSAGES

With legacy PGP solutions, once a message was sent, the author immediately lost control of it. These messages could be stored, manipulated or passed along to another recipient. The new solution gives senders full control over message retention times using our Burn messaging feature. The burn function deletes the message of the device of the sender and the recipient after a predetermined amount of time. Forwarding, saving and copying burn messages has been blocked.

OFF-THE-RECORD (OTR) MESSAGING

Cutting edge cryptography is used to encrypt each messages with a unique private key. This means if a key were ever compromised, only one message would be revealed (Perfect Forward Secrecy). Keys are destroyed after they have been used which also creates a situation where an investigator could not prove the author of an intercepted message (Plausible Deniability). Group chats with up to 50 participants are also available.

TWO SECURE CHANNELS

Our secure email network hosted separate from our OTR infrastructure which means in the event of an unexpected outage in one location, you can still make use of the second channel. For especially sensitive conversations, we encourage users to break up the conversation between the two channels (ex: question asked via email, and response is sent back via OTR). This makes piecing together a conversation much more difficult for an attacker.

Good to know

The entire HYPERCORE platform is built from the ground up by our own cryptographers, programmers and network architects including the servers both and text. We are also the only company to have implemented Quantum Encryption on top of ECC Encryption. We are also the only ones to use what is considered the only other safe ECC curve which is Curve 448. Everyone else is using the less secure but still secure ECC 25519 curve.
